Peace is a choice we make every day—inclu ding when we listen to the testimony and lived experiences of others and d eliberately carry what we learn into our use cases\, standards\, technolog ies\, and products. Drawing upon Jesuit traditions of education in service to others and IEEE SSIT (Society for the Social Implications of Technolog y) and principles of IEEE Standards DIITA (dignity\, identity\, inclusion\ , trust\, and agency)\, we consider how education belongs not only to us\, but to the communities we serve—and how we can choose\, every day\, to engineer for humanity.\n\nInternational Day of Non-Violence (Mahatma Gandh i’s Birthday)\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578885 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578885 ORGANIZER:kit.august@gmail.com SEQUENCE:28 SUMMARY:Light Millennium: Gandhi Birthday Peace Event URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578885 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/v tools_ui/media/display/6a1173b9-304f-42e6-a912-ae39c4fd171c" alt="" width= "450" height="304"></p>\n<p>With Pre-U STEM participants.</p>\n<p>IEEE Day Event</p>\n<p>An example of one presentation:</p>\n<p dir="ltr" style="li ne-height: 1.2\; margin-top: 0pt\; margin-bottom: 0pt\;"><span style="font -size: 11pt\; font-family: Arial\,sans-serif\; color: #000000\; background -color: transparent\; font-weight: 400\; font-style: normal\; font-variant : normal\; text-decoration: none\; vertical-align: baseline\; white-space: pre-wrap\;">Inspired by Gandhi&rsquo\;s Birthday: From Thoreau and Gandhi to Appropriate Technology &mdash\; A Lifelong Practice of Listening\, Cho osing Peace\, and Engineering for Humanity</span></p>\n<p dir="ltr" style= "line-height: 1.2\; margin-top: 0pt\; margin-bottom: 0pt\;"><span style="f ont-size: 11pt\; font-family: Arial\,sans-serif\; color: #000000\; backgro und-color: transparent\; font-weight: 400\; font-style: normal\; font-vari ant: normal\; text-decoration: none\; vertical-align: baseline\; white-spa ce: pre-wrap\;">Abstract:</span></p>\n<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2 \; margin-top: 0pt\; margin-bottom: 0pt\;"><span style="font-size: 11pt\; font-family: Arial\,sans-serif\; color: #000000\; background-color: transp arent\; font-weight: 400\; font-style: normal\; font-variant: normal\; tex t-decoration: none\; vertical-align: baseline\; white-space: pre-wrap\;">I nspired by Gandhi&rsquo\;s birthday\, this talk traces a path from Thoreau &rsquo\;s call to live deliberately\, through Gandhi&rsquo\;s philosophy o f nonviolence and appropriate technology\, to our responsibilities as engi neers\, educators\, students\, and lifelong learners. </span><span style=" font-size: 11pt\; font-family: Arial\,sans-serif\; color: #000000\; backgr ound-color: transparent\; font-weight: bold\; font-style: normal\; font-va riant: normal\; text-decoration: none\; vertical-align: baseline\; white-s pace: pre-wrap\;">Peace is a choice we make every day</span><span style="f ont-size: 11pt\; font-family: Arial\,sans-serif\; color: #000000\; backgro und-color: transparent\; font-weight: 400\; font-style: normal\; font-vari ant: normal\; text-decoration: none\; vertical-align: baseline\; white-spa ce: pre-wrap\;">&mdash\;including when we listen to the testimony and live d experiences of others and deliberately carry what we learn into our use cases\, standards\, technologies\, and products.
